That was quick! D3

AND as quick as THAT, Lockett won by 10-0 tech! Kinda late in the game there... re watching Lockett's match D3

The Russian Khaniev also won easily so that'll be Lockett's next opponent

I got it on; smooth sailing for Lockett (10 - 0) although I chuckled a little when the ref lightly scolded Dave Taylor for leaving a water bottle on the mat coming out of the break

So, it was maybe an uncle. Perhaps a sibling. It's not your fault; I don't blame you. These things happen. Don't be shy Russki, it's out there now. Let it go. You're a Russki, doesn't mean you're a pussy. (When you said "so you don't twist words" gave it away - you are so, so Russian.)

Neither of my parents abused me. So you don’t twist words. No one abused me

I've got a question for you - when did your mother stop finally abusing you? I defer to your expertise.

Not that crap again. Stupid questions deserve no answers.

You didn’t answer the question

You replied to my post in less than 30 seconds. That's what we call "showing your hand."

Is he a 51 intelligence agent Russian sponsor or just a different type. I defer to your expertise

'disbelief' is the word you meant. Your persona is to be some kind of Upper Northwest folk - but "unbelief" is just way too far there Russki. Digging a little deeper makes it clear. You are obviously a Russian sponsored poster. Appears that your team may well include both 'headshuck' and 'El Luchador' - we're having fun now.

One of my UPS units failed today. Looked it up on Amazon and it was $140 for a replacement battery. A couple years ago, the last time I bought that exact same battery it was under $70. Tarrifs/Schmariffs - call it what you want, but holy smokes, this hits me right square in the wallet. The tariffs effects are only just starting to show up now and, IMO, it's starting to hit hard.

Does this person work for the state department ? Or does this person have magical power ?

Yes. And it would be easy to make an argument that those preoccupied with tires are morons. I, of course, wouldn't do that. But, discussing such things with someone at a grade school level, it's not exactly fun. Up your game.

Over under bets are not typically expected to end in a decimal. They can, but thats like saying numbers are typically odd.

I said typically, which means usually. My statement was true.

Just had a look for Iran's u20 greco roster apparently Amirsam Mohammadi who just won u17 worlds is competing at 87kg as well. Very interesting and I think its ultimately the right move, he has a very bright future so competing against guys 2-3 years older than him would be a great litmus test to see where he sits against the rising class of senior level prospects. If (big if) he wins gold at u20s aged 17 I'm all in on the hype train. Also Russia's monster Erzu Zakriev has moved up from 63 to 67kg I highly recommend all of you to watch his performance last year and keep an eye out for this year. He will be Esmaeili's biggest challenge in LA I reckon. There's also a couple wrestlers of Iranian descent competing at u20 worlds, Danoush Jowkar (61kg FS), Keyvan Gharehdaghi (74kg FS) and Arvin Khosravy (82kg GR).

Yeah he had a crazy drop in performance last year. He lost to Kusaka in the Asians then Zhadrayev beats him in Paris. LA is his last chance for gold and I really hope he wins it if one of own guys doesn't do it. Still I think Paris was his best chance tbh, he will be what 29/30 next olympics and there will definitely be killers in that weight class who will be younger and entering their prime years. It would be upsetting but not surprising if Akzhol retires without an olympic gold in his resume. In my eyes he is still an all time great whether or not he wins olympic gold.

I'm surprised that you guys think Khateri is making the finals. If he makes 61kg finals I would be incredibly impressed. He has fallen off since his u17 world title imo. The rest of it I more or less agree with I think US takes the team title relatively easily.

Nolan Wertanen (NQ last year) has been removed from Michigan's roster

Tough to watch.
